A must when visiting Mumbai - We were met by our guide Subhan. He led us through a maze of allys through the poor district of Mumbai. He was extremely knowledgable and spoke excellent English. If you’re looking for a guided tour I would highly recommend him.

Fascinating insight and a great tour guide - I was lucky enough to have Ruba as my personal guide, as I was the only one booked for this tour. Ruba was very informative, and her English is fantastic. I was worried it may not be respectful to visit, but it was absolutely fine. Ruba encouraged me to take photos and made sure it was ok for me to take photos of people and their trades. Fascinating tour. Thoroughly recommended. Don't miss out!

A perfect interesting tour - My guide was perfect. Se was very kind. She gave me very valuable information even not containing tour subject. She answered my every question about india, its culture and of course regarding tour. The tour was very intersting and I saw different side of india. I thank you my guide very much. At the end of tour, even not responsibilty of her, she took a taxi for me and she waited with me until taxi came. I hope more successes in her life.

A unique experience - My wife and I did this tour with Abi, the tour guide who lives in Dharavi. This was a 'must see' part of our stay in Mumbai. The tour itself was excellent. To see how the people live side by side was a real eye-opener a completely humbling experience. Our tour guide Abi, was exceptional. He spoke very good English, and being born and raised in the area meant he knew it intimately and told us of the history, the people and the industries within, warts and all. Towards the end of the tour we were taken to see Abi's home, where we were made most welcome and was able to see the conditions in which he and his family live. Once again, humbling but also a privilege. If there's only one tour that you do in Mumbai, make sure it's this one. With luck, you will get Abi as your guide. He has a passion for what he does and where he lives - a truly unique experience with an exceptionally talented and engaging young guide.
